'We're less likely to use blunt instruments we used in March and April,' New Jersey Democratic Gov. Phil Murphy told CNBC on Thursday.
"I think we're less likely, and please God that this is the case, we're less likely to use blunt instruments we used in March and April when we shut the garage doors down on everything, and much more likely to use a scalpel and go into a particular community," Murphy toldThe governor acknowledged that new Covid-19 cases in New Jersey have been moving higher between 700 and under 1,000 per day recently.
Murphy urged people feeling ill to "take yourself off the field" and self-quarantine. He said government officials need to continue to stay on the "bullhorn" to encourage people to stay vigilant.
